    I think there is a little fire bug in all of us.......



    I actually had to put out a barbeque shack one night. It was hilarious. I was taking my son to get some ice cream and I see this building billowing smoke and these three ladies standing outside with a fire extenguisher trying to spray it through a screened window. I said, " I'll be right back" locked him in the truck, he was 5, so he rolled down the window and watched me put the fire out, and as we left the fire truck was going by and my son goes, "Where are they going? you done put it out" LOL.

    You huff propane?

    I thought better of you.

    I don't like fire. It has a mind of it's own, and lacks a conscience.

    In that picture I was getting to a valve to shut off the gas. The uncertainty of it all is pretty wild. I wish I had a pic of me on the rig that was going. There was fire in all directions, then when I got on top one of the streams got off and I was engulfed in flames. I turned that damn valve so fast my arms were tired when I was done....

    The fire was shooting down, and then out the side. One stream was responsible for moving the flame out the back, the other for moving it around the side. I had to climb 12 steps up a ladder then on the top (which was eerily reminscant of a grill) was the valve to shut the gas off tot the whole thing. Wearing wet bunker gear, toting my SCBA on air the whole time.

    Its fucking the best.

    If it paid more I would do it full time...

    Not that it's a bad thing I mean at least they are finding a healthy way to channel their curiosity. But I read somewhere that in the volunteer firefighter circles you find the highest concentrations of fire bugs or arsonists if you will.

    Crawling on your belly to turn off a valve in the midst of an inferno.....

    Scary



    Having someone photo your efforts so that your wife and kids can have a record of your death......

    thoughtful


    Enjoying the whole thing....

    that was training...

    Thats why the camera was there.

    Man up barry. Sometimes when those who cant help themselves need help others need to step up. I would want someone to do the same for me. Or you, or your family. Or my family, or even dwaines punk ass.

    That sounds similar to headee's vibrator, except for the temps, water cooled and fuel injected.........


    Thats pretty fucking cool, the only artistic shit I do is fuck up cars so mexicans will buy them......they love Honda's........

    I just bought two accords for 1200.00, I should turn them around for 2500, 3000 ea. I guess thats not really a talent though.......
